Update: the news is getting worse.
'Coming under fire, the ICDC, a paramilitary force trained by the Americans, turned on the US soldiers and started to shoot at them. The soldiers fled their vehicles and headed for cover and then began to battle both the Mehdi Army and the ICDC members.' Their vehicles were set ablaze.
Eleven US troops have been killed in the past 24 hours.
